Hey Mike,

I just finished doing the exact same thing to mine! It's a real pain in
the a$$ to say the least. YOu may want to consider doing them in the van.
The piece they are talking about is a thin bit of plastic stuck into the
rubber all the way around the outside of the window. There is a goos
change that if you van was painted it was never put back in.

If you think taking them out is tought just wait till you have to get em
back in. I did most of the body work on mine and had it painted so I left
that job to the pro's. They told me it was the worst job they have ever
had as far as getting them back in. Aparently KY jelly and some very
strong nylon chord is the only way to do it...

My advise is if your not painting it then really think about doing the
tint with the windows in the van.
